Answer:

The correct answer is Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The autonomous nervous system is conformed by the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.

The body’s stress response is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for stressful situations that require an alert state or strength. It is responsible for the neural fight-or-flight response to stress.

In a stressful situation the hypothalamus, which is in charge of the stress response, sends signals to the pituitary gland and the adrenal medulla. The adrenal medulla secretes the neurotransmitters and hormones adrenaline and noradrenalin to the bloodstream. These hormones get the body ready for a response to stress, by increasing heart biting frequency and strength, increasing blood pressure, stimulating respiration, and dilating respiratory tracts.

The parasympathetic nervous system is activated during rest and digestion, and this occurs when the threat factor is over, and the body gets back into a balanced state.

In general, parasympathetic nervous system´s actions are contrary to the sympathetic nervous system. It reduces arterial pressure, respiratory and cardiac frequency, and maintain energy through relaxation and rest.

Alternation of generation
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.

Explanation:

                    "Alternation of generation"

Alternation of generations is the type of life cycle that occurs in those plant  and algae in the archaeologist and the heterokontophyta that have distinct haploid sexual and diploid asexual stages.In these groups a multicellular haploid gametophyte with n chromosomes alternates with a multicellular diploid sporophyte with 2n chromosomes made up of n pairs.A mature sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half from 2n to n.

Two haploid spores germinate and grow into a haploid gametophyte.At maturity ,the gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis which does not alter the number of chromosomes.Two gametes from different organism of the same species fuse to diploid zygote,which develop into a diploid sporophyte . This cycle from gametophyte to sporophyte in the way in which all land plant and many algae undergo sexual reproduction.

Large layers of cross-bedded sand can be indicative of a __________ environment.
k0ka [10]
Layers of cross-bedded sand can be indicative of a DESERT environment wind is responsible for the formation of these sedimentary structures. Sand dunes preserved in rocks can be quite large. These structures form as a result of the migration of dunes due to the action of the wind. Dunes are not often preserved but a few can be observed in thick sandstone units.
